Rev. A

- Block walls are to be built from undamaged blocks in stretcher bond unless otherwise specified - All blocks are to be adequately wetted with water before they are laid and the top of walls left off from the previous days work are to be similarly wetted before the new work commences. - The block will be laid up to 1.60m height in one day within any section of the wall. - The work is to be carried out course by course not leaving any part more than 800mm (four courses) lower than the adjacent sections. Work, which is left at different levels, is to be racked(stepped) back - Reinforced masonry partitions are to fully extend to the underside of slabs. - All bed and vertical joints are to be spread with mortar to ensure complete and solid bedding. All keys in jointed surfaces must be completely filled. - Mortar extending into the cavities of hollow blocks which are to be reinforced and filled shall be removed - When pipes or conduits or both occur in plastered partitions, at least one web of the hollow masonry units must be retained. - Non-load bearing internal walls and partitions shall be built-up to leave a 20mm joint between the top of the wall or partition and the soffit of the slab. - The air space between the walls is to be kept clear and clean of mortar droppings by the use of laths drawn up the cavity as the work proceeds. - All newly or partially built walls are to be protected against drying out too rapidly in the suns heat by watering which is to be kept wet for a minimum of 2 days.

5.1.3 Leveling and Plumbing Control - Block works should be controlled to be level and plumb during the construction by using straight line and proper instruments. - Each block will be adjusted to its final position in the wall while the mortar is still plastic. Any block which is moved after the mortar has stiffened will be removed and re-laid with fresh mortar.

Rev. A

- At the time of placement, steel reinforcement is to be free from loose flaky rust, mud, oil, or other coatings that will destroy or reduce the bond. - In case of reinforced concrete block walls, Vertical reinforcement bar(D13) is to be properly positioned and secured against displacement and the over-lap length should be in accordance with the drawing requirements (minimum 150mm) - The cavities containing the reinforcement are to be completely and solidly filled with the specified concrete or mortar. The whole surface of the reinforcement is to be in contact with the mortar or concrete. The minimum clear distance between the vertical bars and the block is to be 12mm. - Vertical bars shall be supported near each end, and at intermediate intervals not exceeding 80 bar diameters. - Reinforcement shall be spliced or attached to dowels by placing in contact and wiring together.

5.1.5 Installation of Accessories - In cavity wall construction both leaves are to be carried up together, not leaving any leaf more than 400mm below the other. - Expanded steel mesh joint reinforcement will be embedded in the horizontal mortar joints not closer than 20mm from the external face of the wall and, except at movement joints, is to be continuous and lapped at least 75mm at all passings. Full lap joints are to be provided at angles. - All the accessories such as top and end anchor should be installed before commencement of each block wall construction. - Horizontal reinforcement shall be set in a full bed of mortar. - The ends of the ties are to project a minimum of 75mm into each wall or partition. - All connections between block walls and concrete or steel columns are to be reinforced at maximum 400mm centres by means of stainless steel or galvanized expanded metal or ties to the column and built into and fully embedded in the mortar joints of the block walls or partitions.

5.1.6 Concrete or mortar filling - Concrete or mortar shall be placed by hand bucket, concrete hopper, or mortar pump. Each lift of concrete or mortar shall be consolidated after free water has disappeared but before plasticity is lost.

- In case of reinforced concrete block walls, inside of hollow concrete blocks should be filled by concrete or mortar at 80 cm intervals (every 4 layers). - All bed and vertical joints will be spread with mortar to ensure complete and solid bedding and the grouting through the full thickness of the wall. All keys in jointed surface will be completely filled. - The filling space shall be kept clean from concrete or mortar.droppings and clean the space before placing the concrete or mortar. - The cores of concrete masonry units containing reinforcing bars shall be cast as the masonry work progresses. Slushing with mortar will not be permitted.

5.1.7 Openings - Pre-cast lintels or reinforced concrete frames shall be provided at all openings and should be installed during the block wall construction.

5.1.8 Installing of Insulation boards - Polystyrene boards will be installed between 4 and 8 block walls as Insulation agent. Insulation boards must be sound and free from any defects.

5.1.9 Installing of damp-proof courses - Damp-proof courses are to extended through the full thickness of the wall, including pointing, applied rendering or any other facing materials. - The mortar bed upon which the damp-proof course is to be laid is to be event and free from projections liable to cause damage to the damp proof course. - Where the damp-proof course is situated in a hollow block wall, the blocks are to be fillet solid in the course below the damp proof course. - All damp-proof courses are to be solidly bedded in mortar. - Joints of all damp-proof courses shall be lapped a minimum of 100mm at all passings and sealed.

Rev. A

5.2.1 Installation of plaster accessories - Where junctions are between main concrete elements (beams, columns etc) and block work, definite breaks shall be carried out through the plaster finish by stop beads or similar. - The metal lath should be stretched taut and fixed along each edge at 100mm centres using washes and shot fired pins, nails or screws. The screws shall be fixed into plugs in pre-drilled holes. - Beads, stops and the like are to be fixed plumb, square and true-to-line with 40mm galvanized clout nails or plaster dabs at not more than 600mm centres to each mesh wing. - Care is to be taken when rendering up to plaster beads or stops to avoid excessive polishing at the arris and damage to the galvanizing, or stainless steel.

5.2.2 Preparation of substrata - All surfaces to be plastered shall be clean and free from dust, grease, loose mortar and any traces of salts, and shall be brushed down by wire brush to remove any loose material. - Block-work surfaces are to have the joints raked out during construction. Where the joints have not been raked out , a spatter-dash treatment is to be applied.

5.2.3 Application of the render coat - Mixing should be preferably by machine. Where, however, small quantities are required, mixing may be carried out on a board or platform which should be cleaned after each batch has been removed. - Before applying any coat the background or preceding coat is to be brushed down to remove any loose particles and is to be dampened sufficiently to ensure uniform absorption.. - The render shall generally be applied in two coats except where the background is metal lathing where three coats shall be applied. - The undercoat is to be applied either by laying on with, or throwing from, a trowel or float. It should be as uniformly thick as possible, and not less than 8mm or more than 13mm thick in any part. - All coat are to be applied with firm pressure to exclude air and to ensure a good bond. 6

- The minimum thickness of the internal and external rendering shall be 15mm, applied in two coats, (i.e one undercoat of 12mm and one finish coat of 3mm). - The undercoat shall be scratched, and the finish coat shall be floated or trowelled as required. - Levelling peg will be laid true to lines and levels of uniform thickness and all surfaces true and corners straight and plumb. - Mixed mortar will be used up to or within 30 minutes after mixing. Mortar will be laid with a wooden trowel over the concrete block wall more than the required thickness and should be level. - Excess mortar will be cleaned or removed by means of a straight edge to obtain a level finish. - All surfaces to be plastered shall be dashed with a slurry mortar to form a key for the undercoat. The dash coat shall be cured for a minimum of 4 days by water, and all free water shall disappear before the application of undercoat. - The surface of the plaster will be smooth finish by the use of steel trowel and finally will get smooth by using sponge. - Joints in block works shall be raked out to a depth of 10mm minimum - All works should be protected against impact damage. - A special protection should be provided against damage from wheelbarrow circulation, by wooden protection rails, fixed at proper height when required. - All coats are to be prevented from drying out too quickly. All external rendering is to be protected by properly constricted hessian or similar screens during this period. - Each coat is to be kept damp by means of a fog spray of water for a minimum of three days to allow the render to cure and then be allowed to dry out for at least a further three days before a subsequent coat is applied or, in the case of the finish coat, before the protective screens are removed. - First coat should be cured at least 2 days before applying the second coat and a complete plasterwork should be cured at least 3 days. - The surface of the finish coat is to be smooth, true and free from waviness, irregularities or blemishes with straight, level or plumb angles.
